Game, set, match? Barring a complete implosion from Quick on a Marc-Andre Fleury vs. the Flyers level — and, in turn, a miraculous rally from the Devils — Quick should waltz away with the Conn. He has a 1.36 GAA and a .950 save percentage, to go along with three shutouts. He's 15-2 overall. Quick would become the fifth goalie since 2001 to win MVP.

The Kings star moved into a tie with Ilya Kovalchuk for the playoff lead in points (18) with his goal and assist in Game 3. If he wins the scoring race, he might garner some Conn Smythe support as the leader of the playoffs' best line with Justin Williams and Dustin Brown.

3. Drew Doughty, Los Angeles Kings

An absolute rock for the Kings' blue line, thwarting the Devils' forecheck all series and moving up to 13 points for the playoffs with a Game 3 assist. Doughty is a plus-13 for the playoffs, averaging 26:10 TOI. He also scored an OK goal in Game 2. Sub-par at best.

4. Dustin Brown, Los Angeles Kings

Brown's assist in Game 3 increased his point total to 17 and his plus/minus to plus-15. He's gone seven games without a goal, but has been a vital player for the Kings throughout the playoffs.
